Contraindications and side effects of drinking Jiaogulan tea

Although we say that Gynostemma pentaphyllum is non-toxic and does not have many side effects after taking it, it will not cause addiction. However, everything has two sides. Some patients will experience discomfort after taking the medicine, such as dizziness, abdominal distension, diarrhea, or nausea and vomiting. If these discomforts occur, it is recommended to stop immediately and consult a professional doctor or expert to better ensure the health of the body. In addition, some women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should stay away from Gynostemma pentaphyllum to avoid causing safety hazards to the fetus and pregnant women.

The first thing we should pay attention to is the water used to brew Gynostemma pentaphyllum. We must choose boiling water for brewing, and the ratio of water should be controlled at about 1 to 60. In this way, the effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea will be better. This is mainly because high temperature water can effectively help decompose the effective substances in Gynostemma pentaphyllum and better nourish the body's health.

Secondly, there is no need to wash the tea leaves when brewing Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea. When we make tea, washing the tea leaves is an essential step, which allows us to taste the deliciousness of the tea better. However, when brewing Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea, you must avoid this step, as it will waste the effective substances brewed. If you must rinse the tea, it is best to rinse it with cold water.

Third, Gynostemma pentaphyllum cannot be thrown away after brewing it once. It must be brewed at least four times, because the effective substances contained in it cannot be fully utilized in one time. Especially when brewing dragon beard tea, the original taste is relatively light, which does not mean it is useless. You must not throw it away after one use.

Fourth, as we mentioned above, Gynostemma pentaphyllum is cool in nature, so for the sake of health it is best not to take Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea with cool foods, such as Cassia seed, lotus leaf and chrysanthemum, etc. These not only cannot promote health, but have a bad effect on the body.

Fifth, be careful not to take spoiled Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea. When soaking Gynostemma pentaphyllum in water, you must adhere to the principle of drinking it immediately after soaking. Never take it overnight, otherwise it will easily go bad, especially in hot weather.

The above is an introduction to the contraindications and side effects of drinking Gynostemma tea. After understanding it, we know that the side effects of Gynostemma tea on the body are actually very small. It must not be consumed on an empty stomach. It is a cool food, otherwise it is easy to cause discomfort. In addition, our daily consumption should not exceed 2_3 grams, and it must be brewed with boiling water when brewing, so that the medicinal effect can be shown.
